U lity Week Live at the
NEC on 21-22 May will
be exploring transi on in
the sector in all its guises.
In the fi rst of a series of
monthly reports, Nadine
Buddoo begins by asking
what transi on means,
and how much progress
has been made.
ARE WE
NEARLY
THERE YET?
n recent years discussion around the future of u li es has
been preoccupied with the concept of disrup on and the
industry's evolu on. But as businesses embrace no ons of
change, how should they make transi on a reality? What
does the transi on mean in prac ce for u li es fi rms across the
country – and how far along that transi on are we?
A survey carried out by Insight Advantage for UWL during
November and December of those in senior posi ons in water
and energy – ranging from director to heads of departments and
managers – helped shape these answers.
Not surprisingly, what transi on means varied hugely
depending on the respondents' exper se.
